Richard Neat is to return to Pied à Terre 25 years after co-founding the Charlotte Street restaurant and cooking up a special tasting menu.

Richard Neat was the famed restaurant’s original founding partner and set the standard for the following 25 years - and trail-blazed the way on London’s culinary scene. To celebrate 25 years, Richard is returning for one week only and dishing up a special, iconic tasting menu: including a 7-course lunch menu (priced at £105 per person) and a 10-course dinner menu (priced at £145). 

Richard Neat was one of Britain’s brightest young chefs and was Pied à Terre’s first partner chef. Within one year of opening, he was rewarded with a Michelin star thus joining the selected few in London at that time. He then went on to get the second star within just four years. This style and standard set the mark that has now become synonymous with Pied a Terre which it has maintained for 23 consecutive years.

Neat has culinary pedigree and experience. His apprenticeship was served under Raymond Blanc, who sent him on to Joel Robuchon in Paris and then onto Marco Pierre White. He was the British chef ever to have won a Michelin star for a restaurant in France. Currently he is the Chef-proprietor of Park Cafe Restaurant and Antiques, in San Jose in Costa Rica.
